Just a quick note to plug a few great fundraisers that Whitman is doing to support our athletic programs:
First Annual Tennis and Wine Camp, with Coach Jeff, Greg Patton from Boise State, and myself. This should be a terrific combination of food, wine, fun and of course great tennis, with proceeds benefiting Whitman Women's and Men's Tennis. Click here for info.
Second Annual W Club Golf Tournament at the Wine Valley Golf Club in Walla Walla. If you're a W Club member you know about this already. I was out of town for last years event, but look forward to hitting the links to support WC athletics this year. Click here to download the brochure or here for registration and tournamnet info.
If you can't make the Golf tournament, but love visiting Walla Walla and golfing while you enjoy time with Whitman students, the beautiful country, food and wine that we offer, you can email me to buy a raffle ticket through Women's tennis. They are $10 and the top prize is a Walla Walla weekend at a great house and free rounds at all the local courses including the Wine Valley Course (YES, graduation weekend is ok!). Any tickets I sell benefit Women's tennis directly so send me an email (heinj@whitman.edu) and I'll get you in the raffle!
What better ways to support such dedicated student-athletes than by enjoying all the W2 has to offer.
Best wishes always,
-Coach John

Coaching Philosophy
To me, being a college student is about opportunity and growth. As a coach, I consider myself lucky to spend 4 years providing opportunity while nurturing growth. We use common goals, hard work, open communication, respect and accountability as means to building meaningful relationships and improving each player’s skill set on and off the court. This means embodying championship virtues to inspire athletic, academic and personal growth that not only happens while you are at Whitman, but becomes a part of who you are throughout life.
